The experience
You get picked up from your hotel and driven to the starting point in Brasilito, where you'll get fitted with a helmet and briefed on the ATV before heading out. The route runs south along the beaches and cuts inland through the dry forest of Guanacaste, covering ground fast enough to hit three separate beaches in a single morning. The guide sets the pace and stops to let you take pictures and catch your breath. At Playa Minas, a short hike leads up to a viewpoint if you want to leave the ATV behind for a few minutes.
Swimming is optional and happens at one of the beaches. You can wade in for a bit or stay dry, depending on what you brought and how you feel. The whole ride is three hours, which includes the stops and the optional hike. The pickup location is about 25 minutes from where you start riding, so factor that into your morning. Bottled water comes with you, and the guide handles the route so you focus on the riding and the landscape instead of navigation.

What are Playa Puerto Viejo, Bahia de los Piratas and Playa Minas like?

Bottled water is included. Food and drinks are not covered, so bring money if you want to eat or grab something extra during the stops.
